Roof coatings have become more popular with commercial property owners. That is partly because of the low cost, fast installation and reliable efficiency. Nonetheless, a good number of engineering and maintenance managers are unfamiliar with the fluid applied New Mexico roofing systems. They are easily misled by myths from unreliable sources.
As such, many property owners are missing out on the many benefits of roof coatings. Let Goodrich Roofing address the following myths:
Roof Coatings Don’t Work
Roof coatings turn out to be better than the original roof if installed properly. For instance, silicone roof coatings are extremely stable even with constant exposure to UV rays. Urethane-based coating systems have proven to be effective against ponding water. Top roof coating products even come with warranties of up to 20 years.
The Process Can Be Disruptive
Roof coatings won’t be disruptive. They do not require noisy mechanical tools like nail guns and steel cutting machines. Spray systems, paint rollers, and power washers are the closest it can get to using mechanical tools on your roofing in New Mexico.
Warranties Do Not Matter
Warranties are important, regardless of roofing type. Not all manufacturers offer the aforementioned up-to-20-years warranty, however. That is why you should pay attention to the fine print before committing to a roof coating job.
Roof Coatings Don’t Perform Well Under Ponding Water
There are many products that are specifically designed to protect against ponding water. They include urethane-based coatings. Solvent-based systems work equally well.
Anyone Can Provide Them
It may look simple, but everything involving your roofing in New Mexico requires specific steps and procedures to be installed properly. That is why our teams have to undergo factory training and certification.
